Abel to Yzerman

Don’t get all sad on me now. It had to end some time. You didn’t really expect the Wings to win every remaining home game on their schedule, did you? That’s just crazy talk. And there isn’t a single redolent one of you who doesn’t know precisely what I’m talking about. This thing ends tonite.

The Blue Jackets are the worst team in the league with their 13-28-5 (31 points) record…They have the worst goal differential in the league (minus-41), allowing 152 goals while scoring 110. …The lone bright spot, as usual, is RW Rick Nash (16 goals, 16 assists).

Go on Rick. Scoring when it matters the least. Attababy.

So count it. Nash will be a monster and will register more shots shorthanded than the Wings will on the power play.

Steve Mason will be incredible and we’ll remember the days we wished he was our baby boy instead of Tiberius. We’ll chuckle at that, though, because there isn’t a goalie in hockey I’d trade for F’ing Howard now or ever, ever.

The Wings will outshoot the BJs by a factor of 3-1 and will still lose by two goals.

Someone will explain to me the whole pencil joke from the other night and I still won’t understand it.

The Wings will lose this game because “trap” doesn’t even define it. It’s a pit of quicksand mixed with baby shit, Ten High whiskey, vomitus and baby oil sweated off Gary Bettman’s back.

So yes, we’ll live blog it. And we’ll be bitches while we do. It’s just important that reality rule the evening. Because there is no chance in holy hell we’re winning this thing.
